"Okay, I'll go right away." The assistant never doubted his boss's business acumen. Having accompanied his boss all the way, he was always impressed by his boss's ingenious ideas. It seemed that this advertisement for recruiting agents would bring the factory a windfall.
He had to go there in person to get a phone installed at the restaurant, so no one would let it slip that he had paid 3,600 yuan before the telecommunications company would come to install the phone for Jiuya Restaurant.
How could a business deal worth several thousand dollars be given away for free?
The entire food street is lined with restaurants, but only five of them have telephones installed.
The news of Jiuya Restaurant installing a telephone spread throughout the food street.
Everyone envied, resented, and hated Jiuya Restaurant, but there was nothing they could do. Its strength was undeniable, so who would dare to challenge Jiuya Restaurant?
Leaders from the four major branches of the provincial public security bureau all came to Jiuya Restaurant to serve customers, so even the most influential Junyue Restaurant could only keep its head down and behave itself.
The thugs they hired to cause trouble last time were all beaten to a pulp. The owner of Junyue lost more than he gained; in fact, he was extorted for a large sum of money by those thugs. Otherwise, they would have said that the owner of Junyue was the mastermind behind it all.
It's better to lose money than to suffer a terrible loss. The owner of Junyue suffered in silence. When the installer told him that he was connecting a telephone line for Jiuya Restaurant, he even gave the installer a way out. If it were before, he would definitely have tried to sabotage the installation.
After the phone was installed at Jiuya Restaurant, Xiao Moran's first call was to his assistant, telling him to remember the number and call him if he couldn't reach him.
His wife is here every day; he comes here to be with her whenever he has time.
Of course, I will still work diligently when it's time to work.
When it's time to find a wife and cultivate a relationship, you still need to make time for it.
Su Xiaonuan wanted to make the first call, but Xiao Moran beat her to it. As he was about to make his second call, she reached out and grabbed the receiver. "Let me make this call first. You can make your call later."
Xiao Moran stared intently, trying to see who she was calling on her first call.
He carefully memorized each number she dialed, thinking to himself, "Why do these numbers look so familiar?"
"Uncle Village Chief, it's me, Xiao Nuan." As soon as she heard the village chief's voice on the other end of the line, she excitedly called out.
"Xiao Nuan, is that you?"
"Uncle Village Chief, could you please send someone to find my mother and Moxi to answer the phone?"
The village chief's roar came through the phone. He was telling Chen Hao to go and call for help. After yelling, he cheerfully spoke into the receiver, "Xiao Nuan, how are you doing in the provincial capital? Are you settling in? If not, come back. The people in the village really want you back."
"Uncle Village Chief, I'm not coming back. I opened a restaurant in the provincial capital. If you have the chance, come visit the provincial capital, and you can eat and stay for free."
"Really?" The village chief was overjoyed. "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll be taking up my post in the township in a couple of days. When that happens, I'll definitely come to the provincial capital to visit you and ask you for advice on how to improve people's livelihoods and help them achieve a better standard of living."
"Congratulations, Mayor Wang! When you come to the provincial capital, I will definitely give you a grand welcome."
"That would be great! Maybe I'll bring Aunt Hua and Chen Hao along too, so they can broaden their horizons as well."
"Let me say a few words!" Xiao Moran said impatiently, rubbing his hands together as he saw her holding onto the microphone tightly.
She held the microphone in her right hand and pushed Xiao Moran away with her left. "Alright, bring them all here. I'll cook for you myself, and then I'll take you to the provincial capital for a few days of fun. You are all heroes who have made great contributions to the village, so it's only right and proper that I treat you well."
"Haha... Xiao Nuan, you're so kind and loyal." The village chief chuckled. "Our Xiao Longyou is truly blessed. Thanks to you, the villagers are living a good life. Now that you're gone, everyone is talking about how good you are. When you have time, you should come back to the village to give us some guidance. You can't forget us, can you?"
"Uncle Township Head, you're really joking. How could I, Su Xiaonuan, forget the villagers of Xiaolong Village? That's my home too, okay?"
Moxi's voice rang out. "Uncle Village Chief, quick, let me say a few words to my sister-in-law."
Chen Hao rode his bicycle to the Xiao family's house. Upon hearing this, Mo Xi casually hopped on Chen Hao's bicycle and rode off, too lazy to even ride her own bicycle, afraid of wasting time and afraid that her sister-in-law would hang up the phone.
Su Xiaonuan could already hear Mo Xi's loud and boisterous voice.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it's me, can you hear me?" Moxi was a little out of breath.
"Moxi, I heard you," Su Xiaonuan said with a smile. "You silly girl, why can't you change your impulsive personality? Speak slowly, don't rush!"
"I was just worried about the cost of long-distance calls for you," Mo Xi said quickly. "How are you all doing in the provincial capital? Do Dou Dou and Guo Guo miss me? Are they with you? I want to hear their voices."
“Moxi, remember this number. It’s my restaurant’s phone number. Call this number if you need anything.” Su Xiaonuan pushed the man who was leaning closer away. “However, if you want to hear Dou Dou and Guo Guo’s voices, you’ll have to wait until the weekend. They’re at kindergarten now.”
"Sister-in-law, you opened the restaurant so quickly?" Mo Xi jumped up and down with excitement. "That's wonderful! Now I won't have to worry about not being able to find you anymore. I've been thinking about writing to you these past few days, but I didn't know where to mail it. Mom even told me to write a letter and mail it to my brother's address. Luckily you called, so I don't have to write anymore. It's much faster and more direct to talk over the phone than to write a letter."
Zhang Yulan had Chen Hao ride the family bicycle over, and as soon as he came in, he grabbed the microphone from her daughter. "Xiaonuan, is that you? It's Mom! Can you hear me? Are you all doing well in the provincial capital? Have the children contacted their grandparents? Do they miss me?"
"Mom, you're asking so many questions at once, I don't even know which one to answer first!" Su Xiaonuan cleared her throat.
"Hehe, then tell me one thing at a time."
"Mom, long-distance calls are expensive. You have to make sure my sister-in-law keeps it short and concise, not long and drawn out," she muttered as the microphone was snatched from her.
"Get out of the way!" Zhang Yulan waved her hand at her daughter, then spoke into the microphone with a smile and a very gentle tone. "Xiao Nuan, when you see your family, apologize to them properly and tell them not to hate you anymore. If they must hate you, hate our Moran. It was Moran who ruined you. You're a good girl, and our family has wronged you. If I meet your in-laws, I will definitely apologize to them..."
Moxi couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the microphone. "Sister-in-law, please take good care of yourselves in the provincial capital. I'll come to see you when I have time. Also, my tutor praised me recently, saying I have a good chance of getting into university. The village's handicraft team has received several big orders, so everyone in the village, young and old, has work to do. The winery's orders are also increasing. Don't worry about us and the villagers, we're all fine. Just take good care of yourselves."
After speaking rapidly, Moxi hung up the phone with a "click".
